City of Ottawa staff have presented rules for coach houses, Council will vote on this later this month. What is being proposed is that the coach house be a one storey structure no greater than 40 per cent the size of the main house and 40 per cent the size of the yard, or 80 square metres (approx 860 square feet).
The most interesting aspect is the setback which is to try to protect the neighbours’ privacy: interesting the word try. Well let’s see later this month what council approves or changes.
